FOX orders pilot of NYPD cop's memoir

Brett Ratner, AKA The Man Who Killed The X-Men, is bringing his poisonous talent to FOX. Whoa- sorry. Guess I'm still a little angry about The X-Men III: The Last Stand. Ratner and writing partner Neil Tolkin are producing a series based on the popular book, Blue Blood. The book is written by a Harvard graduate who decided to go into the family business of law enforcement (the author also writes for The New Yorker). Reviews of the book were positive, saying that the author, Edward Conlon, shows a side to the police force that is never accurately portrayed on television or in movies. The book chronicles Conlon's days as a rookie and goes up through 9/11.
